FAQs
Do these shorts come with a chamois liner?
No, the Altura Kielder shorts are designed as an outer shell and do not include a padded liner.
Can I wear knee pads with these shorts?
Yes, the shorts are cut with a relaxed fit specifically to accommodate most mountain biking knee pads.
Are they waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which makes them water-resistant against light rain and trail spray, but they are not fully waterproof.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat tumble drying to preserve the DWR coating.
What is the material made of?
The shorts are constructed from durable polyester designed for the demands of trail riding.
Troubleshooting
DWR coating is no longer repelling water.
Wash the garment and apply a technical DWR re-proofing spray to restore water resistance.
Shorts feel loose while riding.
Ensure the elasticated waist panel is positioned correctly and consider a cycling-specific belt if extra security is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you pair these shorts with a quality chamois liner if you are planning rides longer than an hour. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, wash the shorts in cool water with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the technical fibers. Always air dry when possible, as high heat from tumble dryers can degrade the water-resistant coating over time.
